The high word is the cursor size (from 0 to 100, as used in the CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO) structure), the low word is the cursor visibility flag (1 - the cursor is visible, 0 - the cursor is hidden).

Return

Previous values:
The high word is the cursor size (from 0 to 100, as used in the CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO structure), the low word is the cursor visibility flag (1 - the cursor is visible, 0 - the cursor is hidden).

Controls

Control	Description
DI_COMBOBOX	combined list (without DIF_DROPDOWNLIST flag)
DI_EDIT	edit line
DI_FIXEDIT	fixed-size input field
DI_PSWEDIT	password input field
DI_USERCONTROL	custom (defined by programmer) control

Remarks

To show the cursor in a DI_USERCONTROL dialog item, it is also necessary to move the cursor to the necessary position:
```
Coord.X=X;
Coord.Y=Y;
Info.SendDlgMessage(hDlg,DM_SETCURSORPOS,3,(LONG_PTR)&Coord);
```
The default cursor position in a DI_USERCONTROL is {-1,-1}.
To show a cursor filling the entire character cell under Windows 9x/Me set the high word of Param2 to 99.

Example

// set the cursor of 3rd element as fully filled cell
Info.SendDlgMessage(hDlg,DM_SETCURSORSIZE,3,(LONG_PTR)MAKELONG(1,99));
